Last bit of the surface cold anomalies are dwindling, Nino 3.4 weekly readings should be going up at a much quicker pace going forward as the western and eastern warm pools link up. Another downwelling kelvin wave is setting up shop in the western basin. This is no 2014.

2023 was not even close to this echelon of a Nino.

This might be an incorrect interpretation but it seems the reason for the PDO being weakly negative is the stubborn warm SSTs off Japan. If the NE Pacific was as cold as it was in 2023, we're gonna see very negative PDO reading.


Yeah it is.
